I have selenium 3.6.0 and phantomjs-2.1.1-windows in my Windows 10,and set the PATH to the phantomJS.exe. When I use the code below:

driver = webdriver.PhantomJS(executable_path='')

I got the fault:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "D:\Python 3.5.4\test\BeautifulSoup.py", line 10, in <module> driver = webdriver.PhantomJS(executable_path='') File "C:\Program Files\Python35\lib\site- packages\selenium\webdriver\phantomjs\webdriver.py", line 52, in __init__ self.service.start() File "C:\Program Files\Python35\lib\site- packages\selenium\webdriver\common\service.py", line 74, in start stdout=self.log_file, stderr=self.log_file) File "C:\Program Files\Python35\lib\subprocess.py", line 676, in __init__ restore_signals, start_new_session) File "C:\Program Files\Python35\lib\subprocess.py", line 957, in _execute_child startupinfo) OSError: [WinError 87] wrong parameters。

  • Hi, it would help a lot if you could ask a question to get an answer to. This question reads like an answer to another question - "What happens when passing wrong parameters to webdriver.PhantomJS()?". Clarify what you need help with, please. Commented Oct 29, 2017 at 14:24

    Sorry, I just want to run through the code. And I know what happens now. Thank you! Commented Oct 29, 2017 at 15:00
  • Not a problem, I am glad that you found what you needed to know :) I tried to convey that questions asked how you asked yours - like providing an answer to a different question - usually does not receive a good answer. Maybe I worded it wrong to convey that message, sorry if I sounded overly harsh. Your own answer does indeed answer what I think your question meant (which was "why am I getting this error?").

Reset to default

Sorry for disturbing. Actually when I set the phantomJS.exe to the $PATH. I actually do not need any argument in the webdriver.PhantomJS(). I found the doc below: executable_path - path to the executable. If the default is used it assumes the executable is in the $PATH
